I'm on meds for depression. Paxil. If you are talking about just normal downs then reading, watching TV, gaming might help. If it's actually clinical depression though you need to see a doctor.

Of course that's assuming you didn't just get busted for buying a 10 dollar rock and that's why you're depressed in the first place. In that case watching Cops probably won't help.



Unless he could watch himself getting busted on cops - that might be fun
True. Seeing yourself on TV is always a picker-upper.

I kill myself. But I keep being reincarnated into the same mortal coil. YRMV.

music, beer, bike ride, sometimes doing some work will make me feel better, especially if it has been festering for a while.

I go and knife some guys on BF2. Nothing gets you up faster than some 10 year old spamming the text with insults.

:music:Oh when you?re down and looking for some cheering up
Then just head right on up to the candy mountain cave
When you get inside you'll find yourself a cheery land
Such a happy and joy-filled and perky merry land
They?ve got lollipops and gummydrops and candy things
Oh so many things that will brighten up your day
It?s impossible to wear a frown in candy town
It?s the Mecca of lovely candy canes
They?ve got jellybeans and coconut with little hats
Candy rats, chocolate bats, it?s a wonderland of sweets
Ride the candy train to town and hear the candy band
Candy bells, it?s a treat, as they march across the land
Cherry ribbons stream across the sky and to the ground
Turn around, it astounds, it?s a dancing candy tree
In the candy cave imagination runs so free
So now Charlie please will you go into the cave:music:

I sleep. Probably not the best way to deal with things... but I usually do feel better after waking up.

um....gran turismo 3/4, forza motorsport, supreme commander, and rFactor perk my day right up when i'm down/pissed. css wont do that for me.

or i go for a nice relaxing drive, roll the windows down, open the sunroof and take it all in, enjoy everything around me. sound of the engine, the road, the wind....everything. has to be early in the morning when the sun is rising, get to watch that and its very relaxing.(hell, i just enjoyed talking about that, feel better already)
